173, Chapter 173
Yang Haiyan was preparing dinner in the big kitchen. Qin Fang was not idle either. He went to the military camp manor to pick up Qin's father and Qin's mother from the general's mansion. As for Qin's third uncle and his wife, they did not pick them up. After all, Du Ke Extraordinary people.
Father Qin and Mother Qin have been grateful to Mr. Du for a long time. They have heard their son and daughter-in-law say all kinds of good things about Mr. Du. And not long ago, their son and daughter-in-law told them that Mr. Du would pass the time. When their son picked them up today, he said Mr. Du . They were very excited, but also nervous.
When they arrived at the general's mansion, Qin Fang sent them to the courtyard. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he went to find Du Ke.
Du Ke didn't rest in the afternoon. He took notes and wrote the excerpts, and it was almost time. Du Ke was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get up after taking a rest, so he sat in the room for a while. Qin Just let it go.
Qin Fang saluted as he entered the room: "I've met Master."
Du Ke said: "Sit down."
Qin Fang sat down awkwardly. He was not nervous when Shen Lixian was there before. Now it was just him and his teacher. They were alone in private. He was nervous for no reason. Even after sitting down, he couldn't even put his hands down. No one knows anymore.
Du Ke and others can be seen by looking at his appearance. He said: "Don't be nervous. We have the emperor to make the decision. We have become master and apprentice. Speaking of it, it is also fate. I will go to the Yongzhou military camp in March to introduce you to the imperial court. Maybe This is the beginning of fate. But I didn't expect that you would be obsessed with me and you would dare to write to me." Thinking of this, Du Ke couldn't help but smile. This was the first time he had seen such a bold person. I think that when he was in the capital, not to mention a helpless boy from a humble family, even the boys from well-established aristocratic families did not dare to look for him privately.
However, it was Qin Fang's courage that brought them closer.
Thinking of this, Qin Fang couldn't help but smile: "When I first met the division in Yongzhou Military Camp, the student was very nervous and his legs were shaking. Later, because of the suppression of bandits, the student When I first entered the officialdom, I didn’t know what to tell him about it, but I thought of Teacher , so I boldly wrote to Teacher .”
Du Ke was stunned: "How do you know that my husband will take care of this matter? Or, how do you know that my husband and Na Zhixian are not raccoon dogs?"
Qin Fang didn't know either. He said frankly: "The student chose to write to the teacher because he didn't know what to do. He chose the teacher because he was willing to consider the students when they were alone in the Yongzhou Military Camp. See, students think is a good official.”
"A good official?" Du Ke laughed loudly, "I have been an official for ten years, and this is the first time someone has said that I am a good official. You know what everyone in the capital says about your husband. ”
Qin Fang didn't dare to say.
Du Ke was not here either. He said to himself: "The husband is a fox who knows the wind and the helm best. Do you know why they say that the husband is like that?"
Qin Fang said: "The students don't know."
Du Ke talked about the Du family's affairs: "Actually, before this incident, my husband had never thought about accepting a disciple. Not only my husband, but also my father had never accepted a disciple. . My Du family is a royalist, and I have never thought about taking sides when it comes to the throne. However, my husband participated in the matter of seizing the legitimate son and joined the camp of the current emperor. For this reason, my father gave birth to a big child. Aura.
Qin Fang, what I want to say is that as a person, you should have a clear stance on the outside, but behind the scenes, as long as you have the ability, you can do things that are contrary to your stance. "For example, no one thought that Du Ke would take sides when it came to seizing the heir. Everyone always thought that the Du family would not take sides.
Qin Fang was confused when he heard this.
Du Ke said: "You have just entered the officialdom and are far away from the capital. If you have something to do, you can deal with it slowly. It doesn't matter. Although I don't know why the emperor made such arrangements, no matter what the pull is, you are done." As my disciple, if something happens, I should tell you."
Qin Fang stood up and said, "Master, please give me some advice."
Du Ke: "First: The emperor likes ministers who have the merit of following the dragon, but the prince may not like it. You must remember this. Second: No matter how much the emperor likes the minister who has the merit of following the dragon, But the one I like the most is the royalist party, which is the neutral party. My husband will join the emperor in seizing the throne, but he is also clear that he will not participate in the competition for the throne. As for you, although my husband is your master, But I won’t interfere with your choice. But you have to understand that everyone needs to be responsible for their own choices, and they are responsible for whether they will be good or bad. "
Qin Fang said: "Yes, students will remember it."
Du Ke shook his head and said: "You are still young, and it is still early to join the party. It is not a bad idea to gradually understand this truth." At present, it is said that the princes have not grown up yet, and it will take at least ten more years. Year. And what will Qin Fang do in these ten years? Judging from his current luck, Duko is also looking forward to it. "By the way, you said before that your grandparents are all in the house. Although my husband is the minister of the Ministry of War, when he comes to the general's house, he is also a junior in front of your grandparents, so he deserves to see you." If they don't have a teacher. Since we have a relationship with each other, there is no need to meet him.
But the relationship between master and apprentice is like the relationship between father and son, and the relationship between relatives, and Grandma Qin also has a mission, so she should meet her.
Qin Fang said: "Grandpa, grandma, father and mother are already here, but they have only seen people from the village all their lives. The biggest official they have ever seen was the village chief. After they got here, they were Magistrate Yang and Yang Xian. Madam, I’m afraid I’m still worried about how to talk to you right now.”
Du Ke smiled and said, "Pu Pu."
Then, Qin Fang took Du Ke to Liuxinyuan.
As Qin Fang said, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Father Qin and Mother Qin were all sitting together. The four of them looked at each other. Originally they were discussing how and what to say after meeting Mr. Du. . But after discussing it for a while, they still couldn't come up with a solution, so at this moment, they just looked at each other and stared. At first, they wanted to discuss it with Yang Haiyan, but knowing that Yang Haiyan was in the kitchen preparing to entertain Mr. Du, they didn't want to disturb him.
Suddenly, Qin Fang's voice sounded outside: "Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, I'm looking at you." His voice was not soft, just to let the family in the yard hear it. , lest they suddenly see the teacher and frighten them so much that they don't know how to react.
Qin Fang didn't do this aimlessly. Sure enough, when the Qin family inside heard this, they were in chaos. Fortunately, after Qin Fang and Du Ke entered the courtyard, they had calmed down, at least on the surface, they were calm.
Seeing Qin Fang and a serious-looking middle-aged man walking in, although they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but be frightened. Even though Mr. Du didn't show his official authority, his face that often smiled could still be bluffing.
When the Qin family saw this, they immediately saluted: "Greetings, your lord." In the past, they must have knelt down with both feet like the common people kneeling down to the county magistrate. But they have been here for a while, and Aunt Lian has taught them all the etiquette. Furthermore, Qin Fang's appearance just now had given them time to prepare, so that they would not be confused when they saw Du Ke.
Du Ke stepped forward, helped Grandma Qin up, and said in a gentle voice: "We don't need to be polite, we are all members of our own family." After saying that, he stepped back and said, "Dumou has seen her before. Madam, Master." He gave a junior salute.
How could Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin dare to accept his courtesy? They remembered what Aunt Lian had taught them and hurriedly avoided it. Although they were panic-stricken, the simplicity of the family and the people still made Du Ke feel good. impression. Secondly, Du Ke had a good impression of the Qin family who could teach Qin Fang's character before he met him.
Qin Fang said: "Master, please take a seat. Grandpa, grandma, father and mother, I am a member of my family, so you don't have to be formal."
This time, Du Ke did not refuse. He knew that if others were allowed to sit down, they would not be used to it.
After Du Ke sat down, he said: "I heard Qin Fang mention the elders in the family. I saw you today. They are all charitable people."
Qin's father was a boring gourd, smiling and saying nothing. Qin's mother is very assertive on weekdays, but on big occasions, she is timid. Grandma Qin also smiled apologetically, waiting for Grandpa Qin to speak. On this occasion, the Qin family waited like the head of the family, Grandpa Qin.
Grandpa Qin also smiled and said: "Thank you for your praise. A Fang is where he is today because of your kindness. Without your promotion, he would not be where he is today." Grandpa Qin already had these words in his heart. I've been drafting it for half a month. From the day I found out that Du Ke was going to marry me, I started drafting it every day, fearing that I would not be able to speak and lose my grandson's face.
Du Ke is a fox, and you can tell by looking at him that the head of the Qin family is Grandpa Qin. Moreover, when you hear someone speak clearly and think clearly, you know that this person is a sincere and sober person.
Du Ke smiled and shook his head: "I didn't promote him much. The main reason is that Qin Fang is willing to learn. As the saying goes, when he saw at the age of three, his current character is what you cultivated when he was young. That's good." Du Ke, if he is willing to say nice words, can coax people into selling themselves out.
No, just a few words made Grandpa Qin smile in his eyes and mouth. Grandpa Qin and even the Qin family felt that Mr. Du was really a good person, approachable and easy to get along with.
Grandpa Qin said: "Afang was very naughty when he was a child. He would run up and down the mountain every day..." He began to unknowingly talk about his grandson's childhood.
Du Ke listened, he also had a son and a daughter, but... his heart was in the court, and he had never been so involved in the affairs of his son and daughter. When he heard Grandpa Qin mention it, he suddenly realized , he actually had no memory at all about what happened to his son and daughter when they were young. The only impression I have is of testing my son's knowledge and urging him to study.
